Hello friends, I'm using this material on my cabinet design and it's scaling with each door/drawer differently.  I've taken the Adjust Material Definition tool and tried to fix it by checking "retain aspect ratio" in the Scale section but it didn't fix the issue.  The material in Chief is called Corduroy Beige.  Anyone know how to fix this? Here's a photo of the issue and a photo of the style I'm trying to achieve. 

Thanks everyone!  Unchecking opaque window glass did the trick!

I'm pretty sure I did as you said, and it looks as it should, but mine doesn't appear to be working... windows are still not see through. They used to be when I was working in this file earlier, but not today. 

Here's standard view...

Hello friends, can anyone tell me why my windows are not see through?  They were before, not sure what changed. 

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you!  This worked. I didn't know anything about signature etiquette but it makes sense.  I will try to ensure my system info is included going forward. Cheers.

Hi Scott, thank you for your suggestion, however I don't quite understand what you mean. I know what material painter is and how to select component mode, but I don't understand how that changes the direction of the flooring on the riser.  I tried it, selecting the material on the tread and "painting" it on the riser, but that didn't change anything. I did try changing the direction of the material but it changed it on both the tread and the riser. 

Hello, does anyone know how to switch the direction of the flooring on the riser in a way that will not affect the direction of the flooring on the stair tread? 

Hello, I want to print my drawings on 13x19 paper, aka Super-B.  I setup my layout file at that size, but the print dialogue box, doesn't give me that option despite my printer having this print size ability.  I noticed if I don't select my printer as the destination and instead select "Chief Architect Save as PDF" I do get the Super-B paper size option. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you!

Hello! Does anyone know if it's possible to get the shading (aka gray fill) in my floor plane (on walls and cabinetry etc.) to print?  It's disappearing when I print or export to PDF and I'd really prefer it didn't.

wow.  I can't say I understand how that worked, but it did!  Thank you! 

I was able to easily follow the directions from the video for the full height framed glass walls, however, I'm completely stuck on how to apply this strategy on a straight glass pony wall. I cannot figure out how to fix the glass going higher than the rail (and into the ceiling) and extending into the adjoining wall. 

Incredible!  I love this platform for these types questions!  Thank you everyone for taking the time to help me out

Anyone know how I could make this reeded glass partition with black frame in Chief?  The glass style is not super important, but I'd like to get the frame, without having to resort to a 3D solid. 

That's great, thanks!  Is there a way to do it on an individual cabinet? 

Hello, I've created a desk using a base cabinet and a custom countertop with a waterfall edge on both ends.  The base cabinet keeps wanting to put a filler in the spot where the waterfall edge it and so the two are in conflict. Is there a way to turn off this auto filler? 

That works! Thank you!

Hello! Does anyone know how to get this tab pull mounted on the inside of the drawer?  Please see image. 

I don't seem to be able to switch from auto exterior dimensions to auto interior dimensions... what am I missing?

Hello! I'm an interior designer and I'm creating an as-built plan for a renovation.  I'd like my auto dimensions to locate interior walls only, not exterior.  I've searched through the auto dimension settings and can't figure out how to change it to only locate interior wall surfaces.  Can anyone tell me what setting to change?

Hello everyone, I attempted my first CPU ray trace and it doesn't look great.  Yes, I have watched a couple videos on this (and I will be watching more).  I'm just wondering if anyone can offer tips on how to make this look better.  My biggest complaint is the white siding is washed out and the shadows are way too dark. The perspective full overview looks better than the ray trace. (Please ignore the wonky roof, I'm still trying to figure out how to fix that!).

Thank you everyone for taking the time to help!  It's all been very informative and helpful
